Another day, another huge Wyoming rare earth discovery.The Cowboy State is fast becoming ground zero for a modern-day gold rush for rare earth elements long kept in a Chinese stranglehold.Earlier this year, Ramaco Resources announced it had found an unconventional deposit of rare earths that could be worth upward of $37 billion, based on an economic analysis by the Wall Street Journal.A company in Upton, Wyoming, is meanwhile setting up shop on a large rare earth deposit with a novel, developing a new process that promises to speed rare earth processing and make it dramatically more efficient.Now, a company called American Rare Earths, which owns several thousand rare earth mineral acres near Wheatland, has announced that its high-grade rare earth deposit is even richer than it thought. Maybe so rich, that it could soon be the world’s richest.Not only that, but it’s present in clay-hosted sediments, which means that the desirable rare earth elements will not require complex cracking operations or the additional processing steps so often needed with hard-rock deposits.“Being low in the penalty elements of thorium and uranium places Halleck Creek in a unique position of having the best of both worlds — higher grade and easier processing,” CEO Donald Swartz said in an email to Cowboy State Daily. “We are looking forward to the pending assays, and upgrading the resource and rapidly advancing our flagship project.” QUOTE
In the current heightened atmosphere in the US rare earth and processing ARR is ready to be noticed by the global mining media IMO
